Detailed surveys and inspections of reinforced concrete structures affected by the earthquakes in Nepal were conducted in a reconnaissance effort funded by The American Concrete Institute. The effort was concentrated on identification of buildings with structures similar to new and older reinforced concrete buildings in seismic areas in the U.S. The reconnaissance group consisted of 4 teams with 3 or 4 people in each team. Data were collected between June 18, 2015 and July 01, 2015.
